Today, CBVI 3D technology is far superior to conventional 2D imaging by enabling practitioners to better identify potential problems in orthodontic, periodontal, implant, maxillo-facial surgical cases, endodontics, and general dentistry. In addition, it also allows the dental professional to identify other potentially serious problems, including such things as airway passage obstructions and soft tissue abnormalities, which 2D systems simply cannot reveal. This documented improved accuracy and precision of CBVI images helps to avoid potential mistakes due to such things as image distortion and magnification common with two dimensional imaging technology.

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS 3D CBVI CAN IMPROVE
YOUR PATIENT CARE:

 
IMPLANTS
IMPLANTS
dfd Measure quality and density of bone
dfd See and avoid critical anatomy
dfd Plan and determine proper placement of implant(s) while
        determining the most appropriate implant type and angulations
dfd 1mm slices allows the Doctor to determine if cavitation is         present before flap
dfdDetermine whether bone grafting or sinus lifts may be necessary
       in areas where the amount of available bone is questionable
 
ORAL SURGERY
dfd
ORTHO ASSESSMENT
 In addition to implant placement, a Cone-Beam scan is an invaluable diagnostic and treatment planning tool for the oral surgeon for:
dfd  Determine the precise three-dimensional position of a tooth
       within the alveolar bone and how this position relates to vital        structures for extractions and impactions
dfd  Plan and determine proper placement of implant(s) while        determining the most appropriate implant type and angulations
dfd Trauma evaluation
dfd  Visualize hard and soft tissues on the computer in three
        dimensions for planning maxillofacial surgeries
dfd  Generate life-size CAD-CAM stereolithic (STL) models for
        surgical planning


 
ORTHO ASSESSMENT
ORTHO ASSESSMENT
dfd  View bite in relation to bone structure for treatment plan .
dfd 3D evaluation of impacted tooth position and anatomy .
dfd  Orthognathic surgery treatment planning and growth         assessments  in true 1:1 imaging
dfd  Planning for placement of dental implants for tooth restoration
        or orthodontic anchorage and for placement of temporary
        anchorage devices (TADs)
dfd  Assessment skeletal symmetry or asymmetry

 
TMJ/TMD
TMJ/TMD
dfd  Obtain a true 1:1 imaging of the condylar structures for more
            accurate assessments without superimposition and distortion .
dfd 3D evaluation of impacted tooth position and anatomy .
dfd  Orthognathic surgery treatment planning and growth         
             assessments in true 1:1 imaging
 
PERIODONTISTS
Periodontists
dfd  Analyze periodontal bone defects on all sides of every tooth.
dfd   Assess the extent of furcation involvement
dfd  Track the progression of advancing periodontal bone loss
dfd  Treatment plan dental implants by evaluating bone parameters such as bone width, depth, and density
dfd  Visualize vital structures such as the maxillary sinus, mental foramen and mandibular nerve prior to periodontal or implant surgeries.
 
ENDODONTISTS

dfd

3D MOLAR

dfd  More accurate identification and diagnosis of periapical endodontic pathosis than conventional radiography
dfd Visualization of obscure internal pulpal anatomy and root canal systems
dfd  Assessment of internal and external root resorptive processes
dfd  Identification of root fractures and other areas of trauma
dfd  Volumetric and density comparisons of periradicular bone following endodontic treatment in order to assess the degree of success or failure
dfd  Pre-surgical planning

3D MOLAR/IMPACTIONS
3D MOLAR
dfd  Visualize an impacted tooth’s position in relation to surrounding vital structures and nearby teeth and their roots.
dfd Better assess the risk of treatment or non-treatment based on more accurate 3-dimensional analysis .
 
PATHOLOGY
CBVI scans provide a superior means of visualizing and studying pathological processes in the maxilla and mandible. This information is invaluable when planning any surgical efforts for biopsy or resection. The data can be used to:
dfd Render three-dimensional images of hard tissue abnormalities
dfd Provide more accurate information related to size, extent, location, and the relation to and effect on nearby anatomical structures
dfd Monitor the progression of the pathology as well as the success of treatment with the use of multiple scans

       Cone-beam scans (CT images) present different challenges due to the increased size of the field of each study. To enhance your diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, treatment and patient outcomes, 3D imaging of the CSRA offers radiological reports upon request by a board-certified Oral & Maxillofacial Dental Radiologist. Our OMF reviews each patient study to rule out pathology and any incidental findings, which could affect a patient’s outcome. 

        Comprehensive assessments with images are provided in the radiology report for orientation and a detailed written report is delivered to address clinical concerns and pathologic findings. 

Our services include but are not limited to evaluation of:

dfd Routine digital radiography of teeth and facial bones
dfd The Temporomandibular joints
dfd Impacted and Supernumerary teeth
dfd Pathology of regions of concern
dfd The Paranasal sinuses
dfd Presurgical dental implant evaluations
 

CLINICIAN-REVIEWED IMPLANT
PLANNING SERVICES

. 

       Your patient’s treatment plans are reviewed by practicing implant specialists who measure bone quality and quantity, create virtual abutments, teeth, and sinus grafts. The referring physician is then able to create and edit the treatment plan. In addition to the plan, experience the benefits of using and types of surgical guides as well as how to order them. 

dfd You choose the software for your patient’s treatment:
Simplant, Nobel, I-dent and other treatment planning software
dfd If you don’t have implant software, 3D Imaging CSRA will
send your completed plan in a free viewer
dfd Ask us about surgical guide and surgical kit options
